About this study

Official title: A Prospective, First in Man Study to Evaluate the Safety and Performance of the NovaCross™ Micro-catheter in (CTO) Coronary Lesions

This is a prospective, non-randomized, first-in-man investigational study, to assess the safety and technical feasibility, deployment and withdrawal characteristics of the NovaCross™ micro-catheter during an interventional coronary angioplasty procedure and evaluating the CTO penetration rate.

Each study subject/patient will have a total of one (1) procedure performed for this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NovaCross, CTODevice

    evaluate the safety and performance of the NovaCross™ micro-catheter in respect to providing additional guidewire support that is expected to allow easier crossing of Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) lesions in coronary arteries.

Receives: Device: NovaCross, CTO

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. lack of device related major adverse event

    . 30-day Lack of device-related Major Adverse Cardiac Event Rate (MACE) at the site of target coronary lesion and/or its proximal reference segment.

    Time Frame:

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Maneuverability of the NovaCross ™ up to the occlusion and safe withdrawal

    Maneuverability of the NovaCross ™ up to the occlusion and safe withdrawal.The ability to cross the lesion with a guidewire in the true lumen, effectively dilate the CTO lesion and place a coronary stent with residual lumen stenosis of less than 30% and restoring antegrade TIMI 3 flow.

    Measured: During Procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NovaCross, CTO in people with Chronic Total Occlusion of Coronary Artery, run by Chanan Schneider at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

lack of device related major adverse event (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Oct 2015.
